Terra Incognita

Until the entire world was mapped, terra incognita was not a metaphor. It existed and was acknowledged to exist. This study examines how unknown lands were represented from late Antiquity to 1600 - on maps, and in a variety of written texts, including poetry, treatises, political tracts and travel narratives.
